Club Champion Dinner

[dimelb]

Seats for the dinner went on sale on Wednesday morning and according to a friend were all sold out by 9.02 a.m. He rang the club and was told there was a pre-sale on Monday for VIPs. The club is now keeping a waiting list in case any seats become available.

Did any RWOers get in on time?

Did any RWOers get in on time?Rushed Behind, former RWOer will be there. Seems to get a ticket every year through his "connections"...

Not a very inclusive approach.

Hopefully AnnieH got a ticket.

It does seem iffy that the tickets sold out in 2 minutes. Surely if there were a small number of tickets available they would pick a bigger venue. Where is it being held?

From the club - With an increased purchase take up from our players and their families in celebration of the season, we have had to move to a waitlist for this event much sooner than expected.

We encourage all members to place their details on the waitlist for this event.

Should the waitlist open, members will be contacted on a first-in-best-dressed basis from 12pm, Monday, August 14, based on availability.

Wonder how many corporates are going? I know a lot of members did not receive the email advising that tickets were even going on sale. Not that is mattered in the end.

It is being held at The Star 6 October.

It's actually a great night, we last went in 2014 and for some reason got put on a table with the most important person
in the room, Kenny. Well, certainly the most popular anyway judging by the number of people who came up to
say hello to him. The last couple years it's sold out extremely quickly. In defence of the club, the room it's in is actually very
large. I guess it's become a very popular event.

I FORGOT TO BOOK A TICKET ON MONDAY!!!!!!
(Which is when the Redbacks were allowed to book.)

Just shoot me in the eye, now.
FML.


(There are 1400 tickets sold for this event.)

Wasn't it just?
Once everyone had shed a tear or two, and replaced the moisture lost with a bit of whine, the night went off.

Annie, it was sold out in advance of the 9am sale time. I was very keen to attend and rang the club to find out what the story was. Apparently the Redback Members got a pre-sale on the Monday and bought all the available tickets. So you need to fork out $1300 per year or whatever it is in membership in order to get to the dinner now it seems. I was very unhappy about it.

Ouch! No other tickets will be made available?

There are 1400 seats to the event.
A LOT of these seats get given to the corporates/sponsors. There are tables and tables of them (as there should be... they keep us going).
Seats are given to the families and WAGs of the players... it's their night.
Staff are given seats to the event (although they don't sit on them for long).
Past players are given seats... would you deny Paul Kelly, Bobby Skilton or Peter Bedford a seat?
By the time the 150 redback members get a go, there aren't a lot of seats left.
The guernsey presentation dinner is included in the redback membership, and the opportunity to buy a ticket to the B&F is also a benefit of the membership.
Because I forgot all about it, I'm on the wait list.

[AnnieH]

There are limited tickets available to the event.
NOW.

I got mine.
Whoo hoooo.

Thanks Annie - me too.

Hopefully they'll sit us together!!!

Um, I've never seen you sitting down at a B&F ever - so you must have changed.

Anyway, it's fixed. They had you sitting between Josh and Buddy and I corrected them and said you wanted to sit up the back with me. See you there . . .

There are too many players to stalk and not enough time to do it in!!
Ana said I can sit on the other side of Joey.

Got mine too and so did Junior Dr J.

i got mine too but it was still a bit of a mess. Those of us who wait listed were sent an email to say that they'd be on sale at 9am this morning. One of my friends checked last night and they were already on sale, and she wasn't even on the wait list. We got them but I'm really unimpressed with how it has been managed. had I missed out again by waiting until 9am this morning I'd have been furious.

Anyway, there are four of us going so if anyone wants to sit with us, let me know.

That would be good to arrange. During the night we could all vote on the best and worst post on RWO during the season.

Are you going to read out each nomination?
Could be a lengthy evening
